The Duet

15.

I'm listening to music and excuse the fuck out of me ^^^

*Niall's POV*

"I will make it up to you I promise. It was never-" he began.

"Shut up Liam." I said.

"I'm serious Niall." He said and I ignored that.

He's been apologizing every second. It's been about a week. The Gala is tomorrow. I'm sick of him already.

"I love you." He said.

"Thank you." I responded before getting up and going to the kitchen.

I made me some tea. "Niall-"

"I am hurt okay? Can I be hurt in peace. Stop saying that you're sorry, stop apologizing. You would have never told me. Never. I'm not going to keep doing this with you. Leave me alone." I said.

"I know, I'll show you though." He said.

I went outside to our backyard. I just sat outside and I tally turned on my phone after a week.

Emails, text messages, missed calls, social media notifications and the whole lot.

I sighed looking at my missed calls first. Liam, Zayn, my mother, and a couple other people. Messages were looking like the same. Emails were about my hiatus.

I called my mom back first. We talked and I told her and she flipped the fucking table. She was yelling asking me should she come here and I told her that wasn't even necessary. I told her to calm down because even though I worked her up by telling her the news don't go crazy because I wasn't. And I told her not to tell my father. When I got off the phone with her I called Zayn back.

"Hello, Love. Long time no talk." He said.

"Yeah I was going through something and turned my phone off for about a year." I said

"Aww I'm sorry, you're okay now?" He asked.

"Sure. I guess. I will. I don't know." I said and he crinkled his eyebrow.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Liam cheated on me, but I don't want to talk about it Okay?" I said and he tried to hide his shock but nodded anyways.

"So the gala tomorrow. I saw you and Gigi's name on the list for people coming. I'm sitting at the same table." I said.

"Of course. There's no other way." He said and I smiled.

"What have you been up to?" I asked him.

"Nothing really. Working on some new music. But it's all just scribbles as of now." He said.

"I still feel bad I haven't listened to all of your songs yet." I said.

"I haven't listened to all of yours either. Same boat." He said hunching.

"Damn how supportive of friends we are." He said and I laughed.

He laughed too and smiled at me. I heard the door behind me.

"Niall I'm about to head out for a second Okay?" He said and I didn't respond.

"I said okay?" He said and I rolled my eyes and Zayn just kind of frowned a bit.

"You should come inside, it's chilly. Or would you like me to get-"

"Leave me the hell alone. That's what I would like for you to do. I would like if you didn't come home yesterday but you did that anyway. I would like for you not to sleep with other people. I would have liked if you would have taken my feelings into consideration before you acted before you did. But you don't. So it's not like you care what I LIKE. Just go." I said.
